Books, articles and television shows offer tips on using coupons in extreme fashions.
The Melton Public Library presents coupon expert Kim Levi of Paoli, who will give a program on couponing at the library Oct. 20 at 7 p.m.

The program costs $5, which includes an accompanying package. Pre-registration and advance payment is required. To participate sign up at the main desk at the library, 8496 West College St

Another class is being held in Mitchell tonight at the Bloomfield State Bank at 6 p.m. and ending around 7 p.m. Door prizes will be given out. The class costs $3.

There is a very nominal $3 fee to attend the class. Small children are asked not to attend, because of room size.
